A visitor from Sydney at one of the big residential hotels was relieved of an extensive wardrobe and money, the tourist, being loft with only what he stood in. Fortunately, the money taken was a smell amount, as the visitor had not yet lifted a supply from the bank. In one of the suburbs a resident went off tor the week-end, and left the toolhouse unlocked. When he returned all the contents were gone. As the place is in view of the neighbours all day. the thieves evidently made a nocturnal visit. Other similar occurences are reported, and householders’ slogan Sow is. “ Lock the doors.” Good watchogs are also in demand. BURGLARY IN AUCKLAND. THEFT FROM TAILOR’S SHOP.
